Summary/Abstract: This paper establishes two new word formation types, and redefines some old ones. In order to do this, it is necessary to examine some traditional word formation types, and to highlight inconsistencies in the interpretation of formative processes (or formative procedures) and formative methods, and to start by listing and describing them. This paper discusses some formative types (their definitions and quantity) according to various authors and resources. Research has shown that in terms of word formation, the same examples (adverbs) can be defied differently by different authors. The formation of adverbs and the inconsistencies of their formative description provide an incentive to redefine this description, and establish new formative types that can also be applied to other word classes formed in the same way.
